if we are not out of the deficit that we lost. in terms of the system being skewed, if we are continually supporting a system where jobs go to the already employed and we are really not doing anything to foster the economic recovery that is going to benefit everyone in society, none of these laws and nothing that the national employment law project is advocating for says you have to fill open jobs with unemployed people. what we are saying is that qualified unemployed people should be allowed to compete on terms that are fair. that is good for all of us in an economic recovery. host: baltimore, md., just retired, go ahead. caller: i would like to say one thing before i say my question. i love c-span and i always want to make it through on a phone call and i am glad that i made it through. that being said, and by the way -- go ravens, we won the super bowl. my question is this. i live in baltimore city. the unemployment rate in baltimore city is unbelievable. the problem that you have is that not only are so many people unemployed,

and it's estimated to reduce the deficit by $3.3 trillion. remember, we're trying to hit $4 trillion. so we're getting closer. the plan ends tax loopholes for yachts and for jets. it reduces the corporate meal and entertainment deduction to 25%. you can't write off the whole dinner anymore. it ends fossil fuel subsidies for oil companies that are raking in massive profits. exxonmobil, you know what their profit was? $44 billion in 2012. the last thing they need right now is your tax dollars as subsidy. the balancing act also closes other pointless loopholes the rich take advantage of. we should point out mitt romney ran on a similar tax plan. his former running mate paul ryan should love the balancing act because it reduces the deficit. everyone inside the beltway considers mr. ryan just a very serious person. but here is how paul ryan wants to reduce the deficit, with nothing but cuts. and here is the balanced approach from the progressive caucus. you know, when we need budget advice in the future, i think we should kind of push paul ryan of

for instance, deficits are decreasing. however, all i ever hear from republicans is the president needs to get serious. from speaker john boehner. that's the best impersonation i can give you. >> it's not bad. >> wasn't very good, nothing personal. >> but dana, is that it? >> well, that was a little raspy, your john boehner. but i think you've captured the sentiment, more or less correctly. and yes, the cbo report shows that the deficit is shrinking. but it is also showing the efforts to shrink the deficit have taken away from growth and the economy. you can't have one of these things without the other. now, i think there's a fallacy in the first question you posed to jared. that is that republicans would be very upset if there were a double-dip recession in a political sense as rush limbaugh and others have stated, they may be in a stronger position if the economy goes back into recession. then the president and his majority party will be less powerful. so they actually have a political incentive. >> hang on a second, dan
